Since 1980 (now 40 years) Magic Breed has been the trusted name for both breeders and horse enthusiasts to help ensure successful foaling. The new Magic Breed Plus builds on this worldwide reputation and brings the Magic Breed design into the 21st century with improved range, battery life and many other new features.
Minimise loss of sleep and long hours of supervision around foaling time: the non-invasive transmitter attaches to the halter and detects when the mare has laid in a foaling position.
The Magic Breed Plus system is also useful for detecting colic and for monitoring horses after major surgery

Non-invasive
The foaling event is detected using an easy to use device which detects when the mare is laying on her side. This device attaches to the halter and thus is completely non-invasive.
Long Range
Magic Breed Plus boasts a far longer range and signal reliability than the previous generation. Depending on conditions a range of over 1km can be achieved (a minimum of 500m in built-up areas).
Long Battery Life
Modern modulation techniques allow the Magic Breed Plus to operate up to an entire season on a pair of AAA batteries. When the batteries are almost empty the user will be alerted so that they can be changed accordingly.
Informative Display
The addition of an LCD display on the Magic Breed Plus receiver provides a wealth of operator feedback. This includes signal strength and battery level, along with individual identification for up to 8 transmitters.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the Magic Breed Plus work with my old Magic Breed system?
Unfortunately, due to the great leap in radio technology used, the Magic Breed Plus system is completely incompatible with the original Magic Breed components. We realise this is is inconvenient but it was a necessary step to ensure that the Magic Breed Plus could overcome all of the problems many people were having with the old design. -
Will my old 27MHz antennas I have installed work with the Magic Breed Plus?
The Magic Breed Plus system works on a 917MHz frequency, providing it with superior range and immunity to interference. While this means that it won't work with the 27MHz antenna, we guarantee that the performance is so good that the external antenna won't be necessary! -
I have a shed in the line of sight between the foaling yard and the receiver location. Is this a problem?
Due to the higher frequency of operation the Magic Breed Plus signal is much better at working its way around obstacles. About the only thing that will have a significant impact on range is having a hill between the mare and the receiver. -
How long do the transmitter batteries last? I had to change them weekly in my last foaling alarm system.
Our testing has shown that one pair of AAA batteries in a transmitter can last up to an entire foaling season. Better still is the fact that the Magic Breed Plus will alert the user when the batteries need to be changed, preventing any guesswork or discarding of batteries that aren't flat.
